in Wisconsin, as shown by the records,
explains why such building has became

somely finished. The field of labor In
this section is wide and constantly e1-

indianapolis Knights Adopt Resolutions In
dorSing the General Master Workman.
At the regular Sunday mass-meeting of
the Knights of Labor, at indianapolis, Ind,
series of resolutions indorsing General
Master Workman Powderly was unani-
mously adopted. The resolutions resite
the qualifications of the General Master
Workman, deplore his announced inten-
ton to retire at the close of his pres
ent term and to again allow the use
of his name as a candidate for General
Master Workman. Powderly's position
as to anarchy is hear-ly indorsed, and
the resolutions add: "In our judg-
nent no good purpose can be ac-
complished By afiliating with any Or
ganiz2tion that advocates the adoption
of forcible measures to accomplish a
lawful purpose" The resolutions
close by expressing a belief that the
Chicago provincial committee is the VIC
tira of foul and cowardly plot on the
part of those who, failing to accomplish
the adoption of 3 bad measure in the
General Assembly, have resorted to re-
vengeful measures unworthy the support
of true Knights of Labor.

Loss of Life at Sea .
PACIFIC STEAMER BURNED.

The Astoria Burned But the Captains Pres
ence of Mind Prevents Loss of Life.
The Astoria steamer Telephone burned
to the waters edge, at Portland Ore, at
6 o'clock Sunday evening. She was on
her regular trip from Portland, with $50
passengers. Just as she approached the
city, fire was discovered on the lover deck
just forward of the engines. The boat
was running at such high speed that in
less than a moment the whole after part
was enveIoped in flames. The engineer
shouted up the tube to Capt. Scott, who
was at the wheel: "The boats afire"
Scott made sharp turn, ram the boat
full speed into the bank and every man,
woman and child escaped except one
drunken man who was badly burned and
will probably die.
